BURNING SLASH BENEFICIAL ON SEVERAL FRONTS

Forest managers are in the middle of slash burning projects throughout Oregon. Foresters take advantage of the wet and cool conditions to safely burn leftover logging debris that will ultimately make their lands safer and more productive the following spring.

Burning slash reduces hazardous fuels that, if left behind, could lead to catastrophic wildfires.  The process is also the beginning of reforestation, preparing the ground for the planting of trees.  Burning slash removes and stunts brush that allows seedlings to get a head start.  It also clears the area, allowing foresters access for planting.

The Douglas Forest Protective Association follows strict smoke management guidelines put in place by the Oregon Department of Forestry based on current weather conditions.  Weather patterns are monitored in an effort to minimize smoke drifting into nearby communities.

Landowners must first develop a burn plan and then obtain a burn permit before burning any slash.  Unlike outdoor debris burning permits that are required only during fire season, slash burning permits are required year round.

Slash burning will take place throughout the fall and winter on private, county, state and BLM lands protected by DFPA.
